An anonymous letter from a "concerned citizen" of Bath resulted Monday in a reminder to residents that they are responsible to cooperate with police and testify to complaints.

Mayor Elizabeth Fields read the letter during Borough Council's meeting. The letter included complaints of firecrackers, urinating in public, speeding and obscene language in a two-block area of Pine Street.

Police Chief Harry Butler said police are aware of the situation. He said a search warrant was secured and three M-80 firecrackers were found in a home. There have been no arrests, Butler said.

He said a woman witnessed firecrackers being thrown from that home, but said she will not testify.

Borough solicitor William Ross said that unless residents support the police force "nothing can be done."

Butler said the police spend a great deal of time in the area, contrary to what the resident stated in the anonymous letter.

The problem of wild cats in the area of a quarry was brought to council again. Residents of Penn Street said two neighbors are feeding the wild cats, raccoons and skunks. They said they fear one of the animals could be rabid.

Edward Green applied for the job of animal control officer, a new position in the borough. Council's law committee will prepare a job description and come back to council for final action.

Borough Councilman Joseph Meyers, animal control officer for East Allen and Moore townships, said cats and dogs should be kept on the owner's property. If they stray, they can be trapped and taken to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals.

Meyers has repeatedly spoken about the problems of wild cats in the borough. He said Monday that in the last two days 11 wild cats were trapped.
